Does your home have hot and cold spots? Does someone in your family prefer the home to be much warmer or cooler than the rest of the household? A zoned system may be the answer.
In a zoned A/C system, each zone has a thermostat that controls dampers in your system’s ductwork. Dampers act like valves, opening or closing. Based on the temperature selected on the thermostat, the damper will change how much cold air is allowed into a room. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the thermostat closes the damper, sending more air into the other zones that need it. Zoned systems allow you to control which rooms you cool and to what degree, often saving energy and utility costs.
Top floors often do well as their own zone because they are usually warmer from rising heat and the hot roof. Other areas that often need additional cooling, and so would do well as zones, include rooms with many large windows and rooms with vaulted ceilings. Rooms with a specialized purpose, like a personal gym, often do well as their own zones.
